DD started high school ball last year and she was just on JV. This season, her coach mostly had her training with Varsity players during the summer practices and he had already added her to the Varsity roster in June. But later in the summer, he was still undecided exactly where she would go. The first game of the season she did not play. But then played the second game. Did okay - was walked and ROE (but drove in a run). She played in another game but didn't do well (none of the team did) and has only played defense in some other games. He had her play in a few JV games as well.
We've been trying to really get her more confident at the plate however. That's where she struggles in high school. This last week at practice she hit one that hit the scoreboard but it was off coach pitch so she knows it's much harder off real pitchers. But I think her coach was happy at least.
This past weekend we played two games on Saturday where she actually started and went 3-5 and drove in 2 runs. Then last nite, he started her again and this was against our region leader so that surprised me. She was 2-4 and now in our stats she's 2nd in Batting AVG and 3rd in OPS. This has been a rough season for our team so no one's average is great except for a few girls. But with 1/2 the At Bats she's doing pretty well.
Edited to add: Our local paper writes up about the sports in our county - we are in the largest county in our state so we have tons of high school sports. She was mentioned in last night's paper and then the one from the past weekend. Cool seeing her name in the paper
